"It's certainly a heavy heart type of day when one of your teammates is dealing with that, and certainly as a baseball family we all understand it", Hinch said.

Williams said that Farquhar, who is 31, will remain at the hospital for a minimum of three weeks. And it can change in a heartbeat.

The National Institutes of Health defines a brain aneurysm as when a weak or thin spot on a blood vessel in the brain balloons and fills with blood.

It was during Friday night's home game that Farquar recorded the last two outs of the 6th during a relief string. Sox pitching coach Don Cooper called it "shocking" when Farquhar lost consciousness, and Renteria said he attempted to keep Farquhar from falling over until trainers and emergency medical technicians quickly surrounded Farquhar, carried him into the clubhouse and loaded him into an ambulance bound for the hospital. The White Sox said he is "stable, but in critical condition".

"You just can't imagine this happening, not to a baseball player in the middle of the game", Sohail Shahpar, Farquhar's longtime agent, told USA Today. "And prayers are more necessary than talk". "Let the medical staff do what they can do and then at the appropriate time, everybody will let us know when it's OK to go ahead and reach out and go see him".
